Yusuf Ishaq said he resented hearing Hasan called a "devout Muslim" because his actions contradict that. "The man is mentally sick," said Ishaq, of the Bridgeview mosque. "We condemn his actions. ... Islam does not permit what (he) did."

"....We have chosen to be a part of this community," Mustapha said. "We have first, second and third generations that grew up with no other homeland but the United States. We are a part of this country and serve it honorably. We are Americans; we are most concerned about this country."

In the Chicago community, anyway, this is a step in the right direction. More, please.

Clearly, Lake Park has a much better (and classier) band director than in my day. I was in the percussion section of the marching band during my freshman and sophomore years. I absolutely HATED the band director (who ironically, LOVED my sister when she was there 8 years later) so much that I transferred to a different high school.
